Judy Wil­liams was too good for Carol Ban­nis­ter, restrict­ing Ban­nis­ter to just six win­ning ends and fin­ish­ing 23 shots in front.

Sue Grant jumped out to an eight-shot lead against Sharon De­laney af­ter five ends be­fore De­laney stormed home to fin­ish just three shots in ar­rears of Grant.

Dover won on the other rink. Kathy Townsend was in con­trol lead­ing by seven shots af­ter the 12th end but then dropped a six and had a tight bat­tle af­ter that to even­tu­ally win by five shots against Val Lukasek.
